I quit XBMC, started the AudioMidi setup and double checked the settings and noticed the frquency was still the same (44100 Khz) but that the number of channels had mysteriously changed to 8 channel 8-16 bit. I changed it back to 2 channel and presto XBMC was back to normal. Hope this might be of use to some of you at least.

This worked for me!

My daughter put a Wiimote through our TV.

When we started up the new TV, we only had audio through the left channel.

Spent hours trying to nut the problem out

Checked in the Audio Midi setup as suggested here and it was set to 8 Channels.

If you are connecting your Mac audio/video to your AVR through HDMI I suggest the following:

Before running XBMC run "Audio MIDI Setup" on your Mac. You can find it in "Applications/utilities" folder. Set it to 2 Channel audio. Set the sample rate and channel freq to match your AVR. In my case it is set to 24bit/192KHz

Run XBMC and set your speaker config to 2.0 as suggested before. My understanding is, regardless of this setting, HDMI passes digital signal to your AVR and AVR knows how to handle that signal; including 2.0, 2.1, 5.1, etc

I tested mp3 and Flac files and they worked fine. I also tested 5.1 DTS, DD and they worked as well.

Make sure you have "expert" or "advanced" (I think) mode set in the default confluence skin. If you are using another skin you may not see these options so switch to Confluence temporarily to set the expert or advanced mode.
